Nemeth Art Center from Park Rapids, MN is visiting Cruise in Uptown Minneapolis for a unique fundraiser for their seasonal programming on Saturday, April 25th, 2026 4-8 pm. The casual event will include works myself, John Fleischer, Rosemary Holliday Hall, Jewelya Coffey, Samantha Joy Groff, Frank Spidale, Matt Bollinger, and more. The work I will be showing will be a subtle hint for a much larger scale installation at the Nemeth opening in late July. Refreshments and bites from FarNorth Spirits and Brooke Faudree’s Quince.
